Nicks Blog | C A Blackwell invests in more medium sized exca

[RSS Bot]

Essex based C A Blackwell (Contracts) Ltd has invested around £1.1m in a deal to replace part of its medium sized excavator fleet with eight new Volvo EC210C and three new EC290C excavators.


This package of eleven machines coincided with the company's four year change out policy and the start of a major road construction project taking place on the A1M in North Yorkshire. "We settled on our choice of product quite simply because of our long standing relationship and the overall package offered to us by Volvo," commented managing director Steve Clarke. "Furthermore our own experiences of running Volvo equipment, specifically their excavator models for the last 10 years in terms of productivity and reliability and the after sales support when needed, were strong influencing factors in our purchasing decision."

If these are 21 & 29 ton excavators and are medium sized at what weight does small become medium sized & medium sized become large
Just out of interest

I don't think there any set rules on the subject, but as a rule of thumb
Small- upto circa 10 tonnes. Micro/mini/midi depending on weight
Medium- >10 to circa 45 tonnes
Large - > 45 tonnes
